Hey, Mr. Kilmer. I have a question, if you could help me. I have a 2005 3.3L Dodge Grand Caravan. Smoke coming from under the hood, over heats sometimes, coolant leak, heater doesn't work properly, but it will work occasionally. What could be the problem, and would a radiator flush/cleaning help??? I know you're a busy man, but If you could get back to me i would really appreciate it, thank you.

Scotty I am a regular subscriber now for many years. You recommend Akebono brake pads, but I wish you would recommend the double gas shocks that you were speaking of. I know bilsteins are really good shocks and you've mentioned KYB however these only last about 50,000 miles. Honda original equipment shocks last much longer. Is there a shock besides KYB that you can recommend? Also is there a shock that really absorbs bumps and makes the car ride more smoothly than bouncing over and crashing over bumps and Imperfections in the road? I would love to see more information on this topic.

@G31mR 3 жыл бұрын

Shock absorbers do not transfer load to the opposite side of the vehicle in a turn. Shock absorbers, more properly called dampers, do one thing and one thing only; they resist/damp suspension movement. This prevents uncontrolled wheel travel due to springs (including tires) storing and releasing energy, and controls vertical body movement.

I found these topics to be a bit complex and there is not much information out there where it’s explained in your helpful and straightforward manner. Thanks!

Great Video! I love this style! At first I thought you would talk about shock absorbers, then springs, and then struts. As much as I liked this video, all of your suspension shot looked to be struts. I would love to see you explain all of those different components. I know most passenger cars have struts. Trucks have have struts up front but shock absorbers, and springs in the back. Hope you do another video like this that goes more in depth with all suspensions. Great Vid!

You’re normally such a Goofball Scotty, but you proved to me you’re also a science teacher in this video. Thanks for showing the difference between dual and single tube shocks. Finding the best shocks for your ride is always a gamble. Too rough or too soft. It’s always a risk of having to try a couple types to get your personal taste dialed in. I just put KYB ExcelG on my jeep and am already wondering what Bikstein 5100 or KYB Gas A Just would have felt like.

Thank you for this video!! Very helpful!! I did ask a well known guy who restores cars in Utah has a well know tv show what shocks to use when I went to big car event in Los Angeles. He wanted me to talk to his main guy who recommended a German company for 4X4. No complaints. I was going to get the popular Rancho, & told other company has better shock for 4X4 at big 4X4 event. I hope a lot of people see this helping them decide the best shocks for vehicle. Remember never buy one shock also get two.

I changed over to Bilstien gas shocks and struts years ago. Great dampers, very nice ride. Last a long time. My first set started getting a little soft around 100k miles. They can also be rebuilt. They do cost more though. I remember reading Bilstein said it cost them more to make a stem seal than what other manufacturers charged for a whole shock. I thought roll or sway bars transfered energy to the other side of vehicles, not shocks. They just dampen the spring action.

The stock shocks we're worn out in a 1979 Oldsmobile I used to own so bad that over a dip in the road it would smack the bottom against ground once maybe even two or three times and was horrible around turns rocking side to side after making a turn. So I replaced them with Monroe Nascar Sensatrac shocks. The out comes was a 100 times better shocks. The dip in the road with new shocks barrely caused the car to move up and down and the car would level out immediately after making a turn. It was a great improvement by far.
